Hello
Listening to whole of Oasis'(What's the story) Morning Glory?
We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And its never gonna be the same
Cos the years are falling by like rain
And it's never gonna be the same
'Til the like I knew comes to my house and says, Hello
-Hello
Yesterday, time spent away from the computer (which was about the whole afternoon) was spent attempting to finish Jostein Gaarder's Maya. I can read Jordan's novels twice as thick in 2 days but I just can't seem to finish Maya... I feel the need to digest every word and try to feel and find, hanging in the air, what the characters are speaking of.
After about 6 pages of Maya I lay on the living room couch trying to experiment if I can do telepathy since everything in this world is supposed to be ONE. It did not work. I was trying to see if I can throw a message to my little brother telling him to approach me. I'm telling you, he passed by me 3 times and did not stop and address me personally even once. He was actually trailing after our sister (my younger sis, his older sis).
With regards to this ancient perspective on the world as an illusion, yes people, we seem like different people speaking to each other, reading each others' thoughts through transmitted electrons on our computer screen but the truth is, we're one. All this is just illusion, called maya. So yeah, I pretty much know what you're thinking of right now. Surprise, surprise.
And the other thing I did yesterday was watch TV while silently questioning the universe.
"Are you shitting me???"
"Who's watching me??? Answer me."
"I know I can do this, lie down and rot away, but there's a cosmic blackmail that's stopping me from doing it forever."
Well today, I've finally gotten my arse up to start an online portfolio/new project. I've ditched the Candid GLobe idea since I've been having problems with getting enough submissions (and having to retrieve photos one by one and reformat them, etc.) Instead I'm going to do a photo-a-day project. Hopefully we'll all get subliminal somethings from that one.
And just as random, I feel the need to organize all the bands swimming in my head, providing soundtrack to my life, and update my top 5.
So, here goes in no particular order.
Our Lady Peace (I love almost every song, save for one, in their album Gravity btw. Dun care what other fans say. But Spiritual Machines and Happiness... are just ace, you know.)
Oasis
Modest Mouse
Foo Fighters
Weezer
But you know, there are just so much out there. So much. And I'm actually a fan of the The Strokes, The Vines, The Killers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs wave. (Not sure if they're exactly all together but I just put em together.) And we all know there's Interpol, Ash, Lostprophets, blablabla I really can't be arsed. Oh my. I just came on here to post how I'm starting a new site but meh. Can't help it. I'm chatty. Bah.
Well, fly me to England baby... I've decided to take around 6 months to one year coursework/formal photography proper. And I dun know, I dun know... Hello fast food slave? Hello Starbucks? Hello pathetic attempts at self-employment? Hello?
Hello?
PS
I want Douglas Adams' Salmon of Doubt. Will buy it tomorrow. Or later. And I decided that I'm buying a negative/slide scanner.

er.. maybe you should go to Afghanistan and work as a war photographer. That'll get you results. hehe.
Believe me it has crossed my mind. Sudan, actually. mwehehe
If you ever need a photographer please tell me. I'm in desperate need of first "clients." I can even do it for free, just handle the developing fee and my snack. hahaha
Well, I need some photographs of rock samples, so I need you to go down holes and click. hehe.
